| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed, laureate, and draped bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, rendered with characteristic short curly hair and close-cropped beard in the Hellenistic tradition adopted by Hadrian. The portrait exhibits the refined sculptural quality typical of Hadrianic coinage, with the laurel wreath clearly articulated around the head. The circular Latin legend runs along the periphery of the flan, framing the imperial effigy. The coin displays a dark brown patina with traces of green encrustation consistent with long burial. |

Hadrian's third consulship ran from 119 AD, but the COS III dating on bronzes like this one clusters heavily around 128–132, coinciding with his return to Rome after years of provincial touring. The FELICITAS reverse type was deployed across multiple denominations in this period as part of a deliberate program linking Hadrian's reign with prosperity and auspicious stability — a pointed message given that his adoption by the dying Trajan had been disputed from the start.
RIC II.3 1322 distinguishes this issue within a tightly sequenced group; the OCRE concordance places it among emissions that show considerable die variation in the S C placement.
